2013 EWF European Weightlifting Championships
2013 EWF European Weightlifting Championships Palace of Sport, Tirana, Albania Important Information / 1 28.12.2012 1: Location & Dates The Executive Board of the European Weightlifting Federation is pleased to confirm that the 2013 Senior European Weightlifting Championships will be organised by the Albanian Weightlifting th th Federation in the Palace of Sport in the Albanian capital of Tirana between Friday 5 and Monday 15 April 2013. th th These actual competition dates (Monday 8 to Sunday 14 April 2013) are most important for our principle television partners (the European Broadcasting Union and NTV Plus in Russia as part of their commitment to broadcast the Senior European Weightlifting Championships for the next Olympic cycle up to and including the championships of 2016. Consequently and because this year’s Championships will coincide with the IWF Youth Under 17 Olympic Qualifying competition in Tashkent, the dates and times for the Technical and , Medical Committee meetings have been re-arranged as have the date and time for the Executive Board meeting and EWF Congress. These adjustments are listed in the competition and television timetable at the end of this document: we ask you to please study this timetable carefully. 2: Competition & Training Both the competition and Training will be organised in the main Basketball hall inside the Palace of Sport in Tirana: the layout for the competition and warm-up zone will be similar to the design and style as prepared for Kazan and Antalya: however, there the space in the Warm-up is greater and thus will be more comfortable as will the extra space provided for the referee and jury zone. Training: this will also be organised in an adjoining basketball hall within the Palace of Sport: a light and bright hall with a high ceiling. 3: ‘Weigh In’ This will take place in the Palace of Sport. 4: Hotel Accommodation As none of the top hotels in Tirana are very large it will not be possible for these Championships to accommodate everyone in one hotel. However, having inspected the top hotels last week to ensure the quality of the accommodation and food, the EWF will ensure that the final selection of hotels to be used will meet the required standards and expectations of your athletes, coaches and officials Given the lateness of these arrangements plus the fact that Tirana will be busy at this time in the build up to their national elections the room prices for this year’s accommodation will be as follows. Full Board Accommodation in a twin room: €110.00 (one hundred and ten euros) per person per night. Full Board Accommodation in a single room: €130.00 (one hundred and thirty euros) per person per night. Please note: these prices are for 2013 only and shall not constitute a precedent for future years continued>>>>> 2 2013 EWF European Weightlifting Championships Palace of Sport, Tirana, Albania Important Information / 2 28.12.2012 5: Tirana International Airport As this will be the main point of arrival and departure the Albanian Weightlifting Federation will provide a fully staffed ‘Welcome Desk’ to assist you in Passport Control, Customs and Transportation.
